Hi guy's some I know and there is a lot of peeps yet to meet. But I'm doing a 10k run for Christis hospis in Manchester. I'm not asking for your money but on the 5th of July Im running my bottom off for people who need it. The only reason I'm posting on here (sorry computer hope) is I need people to spread the word about http://www.christie.nhs.uk/ It's part of the NHS (national health service) Im folding day in day out doing my bit but I wanna do a little bit more. Anyway to get in touch of the moderators and may be get your name on our t-shirts?? I will pay for the prints but obviously need your OK to let me do it. We need to sort this out speedy. There will be a lot of English media.
<Admin edit> Edited to get posted into calender.

A 10K run? Good luck!
So basically your asking for permission to use our names on T-shirts?
-
Good luck with the run! Feel free to use my name ;D My user name anyways.
-

Why would he do this ? ?
-
At first I was gonna use just computer hope logo. But Now I would like to use your names in a list down my back. What's the best way to do this? Obviously your user names are not copyright but would be cool to see your names on there and for you guy's to back me up.
-
You have my permission :)
Good luck :)
-
Thank you so much Broni
1. Broni

Count me in...but you have to misspell it...
Where can i send a Donation ?
-
Misspelled? Hmm how about Patoi or Potia
-
Darn....I would have been No. 1.
You got my permission. ;)
-
Appreciate it's for a great cause, but I'm not one for shout-outs.
If you want to use my name feel free, but I'm not asking for it.
This is of course assuming the admin has given permission for the logo etc ... I can't find any info on the site about using the name and logo freely, it is trademarked but is allowed to be used on web pages.
-
I was just thinking of that.
To use the name ComputerHope and/or the CH logo, you will need our Admin's permission.
-
I believe Mulreay is pursuing that, based on the first two posts of the thread.
-

Correct ... that's why I just mentioned it in passing, permission may well have been given but it's not been mentioned yet.
-
No, good point, Calum.
I trust Mulreay will let us know when he has it. We know the BBC loves Nathan, already.
-
They do? Why?
-
Still waiting for an ok.
-
They do? Why?
They do what?
-
Love Nathan apparently!! :o
-
Aegis is talking about this: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/click_online/7953590.stm
Remember?
-
Get into a nice rythem 8)
-
use my name if you want i always watch the race
-
Ahem ;D
-
Cheers for all the support but still not had the ok from Nathan yet so it could be all for nought.
-
broni where has nathan gone
-
Harry
Do I look like Nathan's girlfriend? ;D
-
Yep :D
-
could i refrain from answering that leading question as it might incriminate me in any future legal proceedings
-
LOL well said. ;D
-
i wonder if broni's laughing
-
Like *censored* ;D

good man

Do I look like Nathan's girlfriend?
I suppose if you squint, and kinda look out of the corner of your eye... ;)

Sorry missed this post (thanks for the PM, it helps direct my eyes) -- You're more than welcome to use the "Computer Hope", "http://www.computerhope.com", and/or "logo" and users names/aliases for those granting permission. Although couldn't imagine too many users not wanting their names on a shirt.
If you have a set day when your doing this 10k run I can post this into the calender and it may help get some more eyes on the post since it'll be on the front of the forums page. I'm always happy to help good causes such as this when I can so PM me or post if you need any additional support.
p.s. sorry for late reply was memorial weekend here in the states so was out of town.
-
So, Harry, now, you know ;D
-
Event added to calender. Will show when it gets close to the July 5th date.
-
Nathan, pretty soon, you'll be famous!! ;)
-
Nathan, pretty soon, you'll be famous!! ;)
I'm in no hurry. :)
-
yes broni ;) , you must have got in touch with nathan ;D , so you must be close :-X , better not say to
much :-X , but then you cant send solicitors letters over the web ::)
So, Harry, now, you know

Everyone hold your horses on this. My left knee gave in yesterday whilst jogging and I have a specialist appointment at the hospital tomorrow. It's not looking good apparently impact running (running on concrete) is not good for you at all. My knee has balooned up and the doctor thinks I have something called...... it was a long name that did not mean much. It will either settle down or not. If not then it's game over apparently. My friends are standing true though and I'm still raising the funds either way and thats what is important. But unless you want to see me resting on the sofa with a t-shirt with your names on we may be out of look. I have it on good authority from myself though that if this falls through and hopefully not my friends and I will be doing the 'Great Manchester run' next year. As long as my knee stays in tact ::) Sorry If I let anyone down in advance but I may still be running let's see what the doc says tomorrow. Sorry for the long post I just hate letting people down.
-
Ehhh man, you really messed it up :(
I hope, at least your knee is gonna be OK :)
-
I hope your knees going to be ok. Lets keep our fingers crossed that you can still run!
-
I'm sure, if you'd provide him with some gift certificates, he'd feel much better ;D
-
LOL
just when you think we've all forgotten about it...
BAM!
heh, it never gets old, either....
-
Rehab the knee, first. The rest will come in time.
-
Well BC seems less than convinced so here ya go.
[attachment deleted by admin]
-
I also fell over into a tree (lol) when my knee gave way and got this lovely bruise on my arm.
[attachment deleted by admin]
-
Well BC seems less than convinced so here ya go.
actually, I was referring to the whole gift certificates thing with computeruler. ;D
-
Sorry BC I thought you did not believe me.... :P
-
Well BC seems less than convinced so here ya go
BC just made an offer...
If compruler gives BC all his gift certificates, BC will run in that marathon, if Mulreay can't ;D
-
Ha sounds good to me. But he will have one *censored* of a trip to Manchester. ;D
-
Compruler covers that too ;D
-
Come on Broni what's the in-joke? ;)
-
Eh, long story, PM compruler, he'll tell you....LOL
-
a long story, I think it's an anniversary of it soon. Let's see here:
it all started here:
http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php/topic,67029.0.html
and then, all was well, it continued on for a bit...
things were going swimmingly at the forum... then SPAMMERS!
http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php/topic,74641.0.html
where we learned the awful truth that CR's e-mail was "[email protected]" quite a revelation, if I say so myself.
then, as christmas approached, we got this:
http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php/topic,72723.0.html
where we discover that CR has an entire warehouse filled with gift certificates and swims in them, and yet, even during the holidays, poor Broni has to suffer. how could he be so heartless!
and then, we found out the awful truth. It's in Dons about something else but I'll present the relevant quotes, short story, CR was worries about something (probably his huge wealth), so Broni inquired:
What you really need to worry about are new gift certificates for me ;D
CR replied:
NO! i know what I am going to spend them on so hah
to which, Broni cleverly retorted:
I know too....on me ;D
and then, CR tries to deal a death blow:
No I think that I will buy a video game of some sorts
At this point, I bring up an interesting factoid:
I don't think Broni really plays games.
Broni subsequently confirms my fact, to which CR refutes:
I am not getting Broni anything I am getting the games for myself
I call out his miserly behaviour:
So you go and promise him something, and take it away? Tssk Tssk.
CR boldly challenges us to put forth proof of his well-known agreement:
I never promised Broni gift cards. Can I have some proof
Through careful inspection, I find where this occured:
yeah, and what happened to your christmas spirit, anyway?
Sure, it's January... but it was barely september when you said, and I quote
Broni you are the greatest evar, I will give you these two gift certificates I got because you are awesomo. Also I like to eat kitty litter. I am saying this, no matter wat I try to tell anybody when I get quoted without a real source.
So there you have it. Straight from kitty-litter breath. ;D
Even presented with such solid evidence, CR has the gall to say something about his speech impediments and the month of January. but no matter, I find even more solid evidence, which confirms that he has been playing more then just Broni:
Dear god! I found another, separate instance where you promised the certificates to your dearly departed pet goat:
Oh goatsy, your so great. Say, here, have these gift certificates. I know I promised them to the great Broni, but he told me eating cat litter was bad for me, so screw that.
So! First you promise them to Broni, then you promise them to your pet goat, and now you double-cross both of them and use them yourself. That's cold man. That goat, he was like a brother to you, and you go shun him, like yesterday's leftovers. Not cool.
Anyway, Patio busts in with our grain futures and Chrome Ghost account stock quotes, and then I predict that Grain Futures will do better when the cats Finally get control of our grain supply (an even LONGER story that goes farther back).
So there you have it. ;D
-
I knew BC loves to type ;D
-
actually, come to think of it, I wonder if that's how the whole goat thing started, too?
-
I have to say it took me 10mins to read through all the posts that you added BC...... mmm... if I was a director I would push for a film. Just out of interest Computeruler where are Broni's certificates?
-
That's an EXCELLENT question!!
-
You'll probably get your gift certificates when CR's done with Milton and Dante. ;)
-
Wow lolol! You never give this up lol!
-
To be fair Broni he just PM'd me and he's trying to make out that it's all some sort of mis-understanding! ;D
-
Just teasing you, CR. Milton and Dante were writers from the middle ages. :)
-
Not reading them for sure then
-
You'll probably get your gift certificates when CR's done with Milton and Dante. ;)
In other words...
Never.
I for one will not accept that! I will scream it from every rooftop! Possibly while playing a fiddle for unrelated reasons. In any case, it won't be long before the Internationial Fairness Amongst Holders of Gift Certificates Who May Or May Not Like the Mention of Peanut Butter in This Name (IFAHGCWMOMNLMPBITN) (pronounced, If Ahhg Qui-Mom pell bitten) gets wind of this, they'll eventually get the U.S Army on your doorstep, tanks pointed at all your windows...
in the meantime, Broni will be featured on multiple talk-shows, with the topic being "I was promised gift certificates on a random computer forum but the person who promised them was an evil miser who is trying to take over the world using a mixture of peanut butter, donut glaze and cat litter".
-
What have we learned so far?
BC's gonna do his "Fiddler On The Roof" impersonation, and Broni's gonna be on Jerry Springer and Maury Povich! ;D
-
I can always get the british services involved. Nowhere to hide. Royal Marines, Paratroopers, SAS, SBS, MI5, MI6, James Bond and Sherlock Holmes. Give it up computeruler there's nowhere to go.
-
I know where compruler lives just in case Royal Marines need some directions ;D
-
:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o
-
SAS (Special Air Services) = these are the guys that scare me! :o
I don't know about SBS.
I know some of us are pretty good at BS. ;)
(Sorry - I had to, just once.)
-
SBS is the (special boat service) and actually to be feared more than the SAS. You hear a lot of the SAS but the SBS keep it all under there boats. The SBS is the special forces branch of the Royal Marines.
-
Ugh.. Sorry to hear about the knee Mulreay. Hope you're able to recover, even if that does require you to stay on the couch.
-
mulreay can a few people not push you round on a wheel chair its only 10k
-
Yes, compruler will surely volunteer....along with BC ;D
-
Sounds like fun! Lol I could see myself running that and pushing a wheel chair lolol
-
thats 2 all he needs are another 2 and he can go the 10k
-
So 4 poeple for the 10k? Thats about 2500k a person. I think I can make it
-
So 4 poeple for the 10k? Thats about 2500k a person. I think I can make it
You'd want to be some man to run 2500k........
-
omg wow 10k is like 10kilometers LOL
2.5k a person
-
What do you mean by 2.5k a person?
Are you gonna leave him after 2500 meters?
-
2500m isn't much. Might be if you're pushing a wheelchair though.
Get the Man Utd team to do it. ;D
-
Apparently we are finding 4 people to push him. Thats what harry said
-
it might be easier for these peole who are not fit if they could get 6 or 8
-
What do you mean by 2.5k a person?
Are you gonna leave him after 2500 meters?
Downhill?
-
;D
-
problem solved , mulreay can sit and some-one can ride the rickshaw for 10k
[attachment deleted by admin]
-
Well the results are in.... drum role..... two Steroid injections one on either side of my knee. A check up next week and no chance of running anywhere as it stands >:(
So unless we can get computeruler on a plane to push the chair.... hay he could use Broni's vouchers sorry I mean 'his' vouchers to go towards the cost of the ticket ;D
-
Or we could use the chrome account. Do they even allow pushing wheelchairs?
-
Probably not it kinda defies the hole point of a 'run' :)
-
we could use the chrome account
Chrome account is a join account of mine, and patio,,,
-
Well you could lend me some money right?
-
What a rude young man!
You still owe me my gift certificates, and you have guts to ask for a loan?
You'll see, when patio sees this thread tomorrow ;D
-
So were looking at the BUPA run next May now so hopefully we will all still be around to enjoy me making an *censored* out of myself. The time to beat is 1hr 3min's. That's what my friend did this year. So I need Rocky music (getting stronger) and does anyone know an abituoire that I can go and punch some dead cows?
It will be either for Cristie's or the lung and heart centre @ Wythenshawe hospital Manchester. Thanks for everyone's support and having fun with this I'll try and not let you down next year.
But computeruler you can always come and run this year it seems you have quite the following.
-
PUSH IT TO THE LIMIT! *LIMIT*
Walkin' on a razor's edge
don't look down, just keep your head
and you can win it!
;D
-
That's more like it... I feel like going for a jog right now... oh wait can't do that.
-
Or the standard "eye of the tiger" theme. As performed in Rocky 12.
DUN..... DUN DUN DUN. DUN DUN DUN. DUN DUN DUUUN.
DUN, DUN DUN DUN, DUN DUN DUN, DUN DUN DUN...
Fat and weak, what a disgrace
Guess the champ got too lazy
Ain't gonna fly now, he's just takin' up space
Sold his gloves, threw his eggs down the drain
But he's no bum, he works down the street
He bought the neighborhood deli
Back on his feet, now he's choppin' up meat
Come inside, maybe you'll hear him say
Try the rye or the kaiser
They're on special tonight
If you want, you can have an appetizer
You might like our salami and the liver's all right
And they'd really go well with the rye
Or the kaiser
Never eats while on the job
He heard it's good to stay hungry
But he makes a pretty mean shish kabob
Have a taste, they were made fresh today
Try the rye or the kaiser or the wheat or the white
Maybe I can suggest an appetizer
Stay away from the tuna, it smells funny tonight
But you just can't go wrong with the rye
Or the kaiser
So today, his deli comes first
Still he dreams of his past days of glory
Goes in the back and beats up on the liverwurst
All the while you can still hear him say
It's the rye or the kaiser, it's the thrill of one bite
Let me please be your catering advisor
If you want substitutions I won't put up a fight
You can have your roast beef on the rye
Or the kaiser
The rye or the kaiser
The rye or the kaiser
The rye or the kaiser
wait a minute, that isn't really very motivational.
-
I don't know it kinda motivates me not to run... ;D
-
I think its too far away for me to run. O well. Just make sure you wear the shirt next year!
-
It's good in a way guy's because I had a quick chat (PM) with Nathan about the design of the T-Shirt a few weeks ago and he said some of you guy's may be able to help. At first because of time restrictions I was going to pass the batton over to a t-shirt company but Nathan did suggest that there are people out there who can design such things. Anybody on this thread good at design??
-
Somewhat. I might be able to help. Just give me some sort of color scheme
-
White T-shirt, Computer Hope logo with a list of us guy's probably in black down the back under the Computer hope logo. May be we can all think of a snappy logo to go with it.
When I say logo I mean the full Computer hope.com
free computer help for everyone
logo even if we could get the keyboard bit at the end.
-
I'm gonna show this to my better half...see what she can do with it...I'd do it, but you don't want Crayola Crayons, do you? ;)
-
Well Aegis not really but if you know someone that can do this cool. But it's for charity so don't be expecting royalties ;D
-
No worries...she did something for my work recently which didn't win popular vote, but was described as "professional" results by some in the office. We'll have to see if she's interested. :)
-
The winner get's Broni's gift certificate I think Broni won't mind... but then again he's been fighting for it so long. ;D
-
Update on Knee.. Check out the lumps!
[attachment deleted by admin]
-
MULREAY , an old cure and it works , get a crape bandage put it round your knee , metholated and put it on
the bandage , it takes the swelling down and makes it easier to walk , great cure for water on the knee for
football players etc , use for 1 week , harry
-
I don't want to get my knee drunk! ;D
-
why not , it will not feel the pain then , but it works i have used it a lot on people
-
Sorry the steroids and my pain killers are making me a little mixed up! My GF is taking control for the mo. I talk she types.
-
The winner get's Broni's gift certificate I think Broni won't mind
Sure thing. If I finally will get them from compruler ;D
-
I will run 10k just to see that. Bad knee or not.
-
I'll buy a shirt to help support the cause...
-
We need to design it first.
-
Hospital appointment on Tue. It took long enough! Going to the Withington Community centre hospital to get the knee sorted and now it is my back as well. Check it out on google earth Nell Lane, Manchester M20 2LG. Seeing the Orthopaedic clinic. Make's me sound lame.
-
Wow... sounds exciting! You never know what you might see there!
Well, I mean, I suppose you can be fairly certain that there's an orthopedist... but really, everything else is a mystery! Will there be a baby who cries in the waiting room and makes you grind your teeth? Will all the magazines have 24 page articles about Michael Jackson? It's an ADVENTURE!
they could make a game out of it: "Mulreay goes to the orthopedist"
hmm, interesting. I mispelled the name as "Micheal". This might not be too surprising, until you know it's MY first name as well.
-
Plus, when you're done, you can ask the doctor a variation of the very old, but venerable, violin joke..."...but Doc, will, I be able to play the violin?" "Yes." "Good -- I've always wanted to..."
(Doctor finishes examination)
"Doctor, will I be able to do the 'Thriller' dance?"
"Yes."
Oh, never mind... ::) ;D
-
heh, good one.
-
Yeah that as well.
